The cover story of the Feb. 23 issue ideally might have given the complete "who, what, where and when" of the event, as there is only an indefinite reference to the Archbishop of Canterbury's sermon at the annual council of the Diocese of Virginia being preached "to a standing-room-only congregation of more than 1,000 people in the nave and in a chapel ..."

From time to time in recent years, this service has been held at rented secular spaces, often in the Washington, D.C. suburbs of northern Virginia, so it is personally gratifying to note that this year it was held in a church, in this case St. Stephen's in Richmond, and in the see city of the Diocese of Virginia.

Naturally, it is a source of some local parish pride to have been asked to be host to this special diocesan event. Furthermore, the archbishop's visit coincided with a tremendous tragedy in our parish, the murder of the son of a beloved associate priest, and the way in which our world-wide spiritual leader took our parish into his heart was inspiring.
